Donald Trump would be the most hated nominee in recent elections if he wins GOP race with 67 percent unfavorability

Donald Trump would be the most unfavorable nominee in modern times if he wins Republican race.

He's the most-hated ever!

If reviled real estate magnate Donald Trump wins the GOP presidential nomination, he would be the most disliked candidate in the 32 years since polls existed on the topic, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Other unpopular candidates since polls started collecting data on nominee unfavorability in 1984 haven't even come close to the negativity toward Trump, according to Gallup poll data.

President George H.W. Bush is the only recent presidential candidate to inch toward Trump's unpopularity in an election year. He received a 57% unfavorable rating during the 1992 race against Bill Clinton.

Then-Vice President Al Gore was unpopular with 52% of voters during the 2000 presidential race against George W. Bush, who eventually won the race after the Florida recount scandal.

While Trump has successfully riled up a passionate group of supporters helping him rake in delegates during the Republican primaries, his misogyny and fear-mongering continue to alienate him from the broader electorate, the new poll suggests.

Trump is viewed unfavorably by 75% of women — news that comes after the GOP front-runner sparred with Fox News Channel host Megyn Kelly, has attacked the physical appearance of rival Ted Cruz's wife, and has said he would punish women who got abortions if the procedure were made illegal.

The billionaire blowhard polled worst among Hispanics — receiving an 85% unfavorable rating among that growing demographic. Hispanics, the poll found, are also most incensed by Trump's plans to build a wall along the Mexican border.

Even among conservatives, evangelical Protestants and white men, the fuzzy-maned mogul was viewed unfavorably by at least 51%.

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, got a lukewarm response from voters — receiving a 52% unfavorable rating in The Washington Post-ABC News poll, which covers the last three months of the campaign.

On Thursday, Trump held a private meeting with RNC officials at the party's DC headquarters. Trump tweeted he had a "very nice" meeting with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus during his visit, but did not elaborate on what was discussed.

"(Priebus) and Mr. Trump had a productive conversation about the state of the race. The Chairman is in constant communication with all of the candidates and their campaigns about the primaries, general election, and the convention," the RNC said in a statement.

"Meeting and phone conversations with candidates and their campaigns are common and will increase as we get closer to November."

Meanwhile, Trump could lose 50 delegates after he said Tuesday night at a CNN town hall that he would break his pledge and not support the GOP nominee should he fail to win at the convention.

The Republican Party in South Carolina — whose 50 delegates were awarded to Trump stemming from his victory in February — require candidates to make, and keep, the pledge in order to be on the state's primary ballot, Time.com reported.
